Surge in global betting on energy markets seen on Monday morning 15 minutes prior to Donald Trump’s Truth Social post announcing ‘productive’ talks with Iran
A surge in betting on global oil markets just 15 minutes before Donald Trump announced a temporary halt to his airstrikes on Iran this week has sparked claims of insider trading.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform at 7.05 a.m. Monday: “I am please [sic] to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”
Iran denied any such talks had taken place, branding them “fake news”.
But according to Bloomberg, at least 6 million barrels of Brent and West Texas Intermediate were suddenly sold between 6.49 a.m. and 6.51 a.m, raising suspicions that word of the president’s announcement was leaked in advance.
Now there is concern? A little late to the game. This happens weekly. I’m not even sure if the stock market is based on any sort of reality nowadays, after it’s been so manipulated by trump and his cabal of opportunistic scoundrels.

stock market has been the only thing anyone running this country cares about since Carter and Rothschild pegged everyones retirement to the casino

Perhaps, but it wasn’t always this blatant and this volume.
